# Ingredients:
→ Base
01 -
1/3 cup white sugar
02 -
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
03 -
2 cups thick cream
04 -
.25 ounce packet plain gelatin (1 tablespoon)

2 tablespoons chilled water
→ For Serving
07 -
Fresh mint sprigs
08 -
Raspberry topping
# Steps:
01 -
In a little bowl, stir together the cold water and gelatin powder until smooth. Leave it alone so the gelatin can soak up the liquid.
02 -
In a big pot, whisk the sugar, heavy cream, and half and half together. Heat on medium until it starts to steam (around 140°F), but don’t let it boil.
03 -
Take the cream off the burner. Mix in the gelatin and vanilla, making sure it’s completely melted.
04 -
Evenly pour the cream into eight ramekins, about half a cup per dish. Let them cool naturally, cover, and put in the fridge overnight.
05 -
To serve, loosen the edges with a knife, dip the ramekins briefly in hot water, and carefully flip onto plates. Garnish with mint and raspberry sauce.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
You can serve this in the ramekins or in clear glass cups without flipping them out.
02 -
No half and half? Use 3/4 cup heavy cream mixed with 1/4 cup whole milk as a swap.
